> Work with us
We're a small engineering team building the platform that powers Koala Legal. No layers of management, no Jira tickets from product managers you've never met. Just engineers solving real problems.
Why Koala Tech
Small team, big ownership
You'll ship features end-to-end. From database migration to production deployment, no hand-offs.
Real users, real impact
Conveyancers and home buyers use what you build every day. You'll hear directly how it helps.
Modern stack, no legacy
.NET 10, PostgreSQL, Azure Container Apps, Tailwind CSS. Built from scratch in 2026, not inherited from 2014.
Sheffield-based
We work from Leah's Yard in the city centre. Hybrid-friendly, but we value time together.
Our values
At most companies, values are words on a wall. At Koala, they guide how we make decisions, communicate, and solve problems. Everyone is expected to challenge any work that doesn't align.
Challenge convention
Question "that's how it's always been done." Bring creative, tech-enabled solutions. Rethink processes from first principles, don't just tweak what exists.
Obsess about customers
The emotional weight of moving home is massive. See the process through the customer's eyes. Communicate proactively during high-stress moments. Treat customer satisfaction as the ultimate measure of success.
Don't make me think
Stress comes from confusion and uncertainty. Write in plain language, never jargon. Design experiences that feel obvious. Reduce clicks, steps, and decision-making. Proactively explain what's happening next.
Act like an owner
Proactively solve problems. Take full responsibility, even across team boundaries. Follow through without reminders. Make decisions with long-term trust and customer impact in mind.
Sweat the small stuff
In conveyancing, small details cause major delays. Double-check everything. Fix inconsistencies before they become problems. Lots of tiny improvements compound to make a big impact.
